Kinesiology Exam #3 – Study Guide
- The
- The Transversospinales originates on the transverse process of a vertebra and inserts on the spinous process of the
vertebra above?
- The Quadratus Lumborum is a prime mover in which Lateral Bending (Lateral Flexion)
- The Erector Spinae are prime movers in extension and lateral flexion of the spine
- The Sternocleidomastoid, when contracted unilaterally, laterally bends the neck to the same side & rotates the head to
the opposite side.
- The spinal ligament that runs posteriorly along the vertebral bodies inside the vertebral foramen is called the PLL,
posterior longitudinal ligament
-
- The facet joints of the lumbar spine primarily run in the sagittal plane which allows good spinal flexion and extension
- The muscle of the cervical spine that is innervated by Cranial Nerve XI is the Sternocleidomastoid
Upper Traps (Cranial Nerve XI)
- The suboccipital mm., located posteriorly, primarily serve to extend, laterally bend, and rotate the head
- Having a pt. prone over a ball, raising head and shoulders, then with a focus on the “down” part of the exercise
achieves eccentric strengthening of the trunk extensors
- L Side-lying over an exercise ball, and then laterally bend to right is the best position and instruction for a scoliosis
client to strengthen lateral benders of the right side of the trunk
- When you instruct a client in a “chin tuck” exercise, you are encouraging axial extension
-
- Having your patient flex and laterally bend the cervical spine to the right; while rotating the head to the left side is the
best instruction to most effectively stretch the left sternocleidomastoid muscle .
- The transverse abdominis has the primary function is compression of abdominal contents
- A Compression Fracture is a common type of fracture seen in those with osteoporosis
